Unnatural Tendency of the Times.

LHattis Tyng Griswold in the Chicago Tribune
 Let not our virtuous young girls rush into the arms of dissolute or dissipated young men without the warning of reason and of experience. Let them be taught to recog nize such characters at sight and to loathe them as they deserve. Then we should hear less of innocent girls being offered up to the unworthy, and nothing of young girls mar rying impure young men with the thought of reforming them. Young men are not couraged to take that class of women as hopeful subjects for reformation; no more should pure young girls be allowed to so pol lute themselves. Let like consort with like, and if young man wants a spotless bride let him keep himself spotless for her sake.
 And let not young men too long delay their marriage because they are poor. Of this comes largelr the vicious system Of France and the growing celibacy in England. The sexes said to be growing away from each other in those cauutries-to have few inter ests in common, no society, so to speak, the men avoiding intercourse with their equals and seeking only low grade of female soci- ety, and the women more and more obliged to devise and to carry out their own separate schemes of amusement. This has also be- gun to be noticed in our fashionable society, and Jenny June accounts for the rage for af ternoon receptions by saying that ladies can not attend evening gatherings, as it is impos- sible to secure escorts. Late accounts of fashionable assemblies in Boston, where the young men are moatly Harvard students, de scribe the young men as huddling together and not trying in any manner to entertain the ladies, and as appearing excessively bored with the whole thing. All this is un- natural and shows a vicious tendency of the times. Young men would delight in the so- ciety of their own social order and be as pleased with youth and beauty now as they have always been if they kept themselves fresh and pure for the society of their equals. It is because they indulge in too free and easy intercourse with their interiors that the dignity and restraint required of them in good society are so irksome.

A w A k MING.

The shaking of the earth along the coast of the Mediterranean has again sharply called the attention of men to the instability of things This earthquake, following so soon after that which shook Charleston, will give impetus to the study of such phenome- na from which some practical good may result
 In a timely article in the last Century Pro- lessor Shaler points out that it would be we'll fer people in those countries where earthquakes of any degree of severity are likely to be felt to pay more attention to the way their houses and places of business are ! built. Certain sections of the United States, such as the central part of New England, that is, Massachusetts, the southern Atlantic States, section of country west of the Mis- sissippi river near it's junction with the Ohio, and the Pacific slope below Oregon, are subjected to earth tremors of consider able intensity. He shows, for example, that an earthquake shock was felt in Massachu- setts in 1865, almost, if not quite, equal to that recently experienced in Charleston, and sufficiently severe to throw brick from the top of a chimney thirty five feet high to the ground at a distance of thirty feet from the base of the chimney His comment on this is that, if another such shock were to occur at the present time, it could hardly fail to ruin very large number of the lofty and fragile brick and stone buildings that have been put up in Boston in the last quarter of 8 century.
 Professor Shaler says that even in the most severe earthquakes the actual move ment of the ground is slight. In the most severe one of which we have record it is doubtful if the movement has ever amounted to foot, while 8 shock like that which oc- cured at Charleston probably swings the earth to and fro within the space of an inch But although the actual movement of ths ground may be slight, the destruction, as Professor Shaler points out is done in pafU by the sudden to and ire motion, which shakes the foundation from the superstruc- tu1e, and in 8 large measure by the pendu- lum-like vibration which is set up in the building This pendulum movement may cause all oscillation of one inch at the foun- dations to be equivalent to several feet at the top of six-story structure.
 Professor Shaler gives good advice, but little attention will be paid to it. unless earthquakes are numerous enough to perma- nently and thoroughly scare people. An earthquake of much magnitude in New England would make terrible destruction in the tail buildings of the cities

Princes at the Play.

I happened to be at tine Opera Comique on Saturday evening, and like the other loyal Britons then and there present, I gave a great deal more attention to the royal box and it's occupants than to the stage. I should have done so in any case, for is not the world comedy far more interesting than any possible stage-eemedy, and are not princes the leading comedianss My interest was heightened, however, by the recollection of your recent article on "What Royalty has Done for the Stage;" and your readers may be interested to learn what royalty did for the stage on that particular evening. It might be instructive to inquire into the in huences which moved the Prince, and pecialIy the Princess of Wales, to do Miss Kate Vaughan Qate of the Gaiety) the some what unusual honor of graeing her first night with their presence. Waiving the question of motives, however, I pass on to facts. The royal party arrived very late (well on in the second act), and for some time after tering their box made not the slightest pre- tence of attending to the play. The interest with which the British public watched their movements seemed to be cordially reciproca- ted for the Princes theater glass carefully swept the stalls and circle time after time, while Prince Albert Victor appeared equally desirous of learning to know by sight many as possible of his future subjects. Little by little the princely patrons of the drama awakened to the fact that something was happening on the stage, and at last (to do him justice) Prince Albert Victor evi- dently concentrated his whole mind upon the task of discovering what the play was about. Every now and then his father would attempt to explain one of the jokes to him, clearly without success. For long time he was as snileless as his ancestor Henry Beauclerc; and indeed the whole par ty seemed to see very little in Sheridan's wit.
 At last came passage that broke the ice. Sir Lucius O'Trigger dictates to Bob Acres letter commencing thus-"To prevent the confusion that might arise from our both addressing the same lady-;" and the tra- ditional ''gag' is for Acres to misunderstand Sir Lucius and write Undressing" instead of addressing" This struck tue royal party as the very acme of wit. The Princess of Wales could not see; she was hidden be- hind her bouquet; but the two Princes shook and writhed with prolonged laughter. The joke is too good not to be repeated, and it's repetition again conyulsed the princely pair. One other saying, and only one, afforded them almost equal delight. This time it was not 'sgag," but genuine line of Sher- idan's, though scarcely, one would think, the wittiest in the play-no other in fact than Sir Anthony's speech to Captain Absolute: 'Are you my son or not! Answer for your mother, you dog, if you won't for me-" This is evidently one of those touches of na- ture which make the whole world kin, for the Princes appreciated it quite as much as the gods. It is one of those simple and. so to speak domestic pleasantries over which it

ing the money the policy would be void.
 In 6 recent article Dr. Fauvelle considers
 the proposition that the attitude of an ani
 nal is always in accord with the exercise of
 it's predominant organ of sense. On this as-
 sumption the biped station would be the | consequence of the predominance of vision
 over smell and the attitude of quadrupeds
 the result of the relatively higher develop 1 rnent of their sense of smell. In refutation 1 of this view the writer argues that the rela- 1 tions between the organs of sight and smell | in bipeds and quadrupeds are the result, I rather than the cause, of their different sta tions, while he shows that wherever in the animal series the organs of sight would seem to have lost their importance in proportion to the development of the sense of smell, the latter is aided by delicate organs of touch situated on those parts of the body which form it's anterior side when moving forward Thus in the vertebrates all the organs of the senses are situated at the cepnalic extremity of the body.
 The bill concerning car heating which has been constructed by the New York railroad commission provides that after January 1, 1888, no passenger car on steam railroads in the State shall be heated by stove heater which is not so constructed as to prevent the car taking fire in any circumstances. The board are made judges of the devices which may be brought out under the provisions of the act, and all such must have their approv- al before being put ill use. The board in discussing the question express some doubt of the efficiency of steam heating from the locomotive. Their objections to it are the inconvenience of heating unattached cars, condensation and consequent unequal heat ing in long trains, and finally the necessity of uniform steam connection for all cars; something which their experience in trying to get uniform car couplings showed them would prove embarrassing. They think stove can be constructed strong enough to resist fracture, and the act was accordingly drawn with such a device in view. Consid- ering the evidence in existence that cars can be successfully heated by steam from the locomotive the action of the New York rail- road commissioners seems odd

Hope for the Lepers.

From the German Catholic Missions. A letter from Father Damien, the mission, ary priest in the leper settlement st Molokai | contains the following passage:
 ''For about twenty years our most distin- guished physicians tried every possible
 means to master this dreadful disease, but all their efforts failed to check the spread of the distemper. About three years ago 8 white man WAS seized with leprosy. Being very wealthy he preferred to go to Japan rather than submit to a lifelong exile in Molokai. In Japan he continued for 8 two years course of hydropathic treatment under Dr. Goto. He returned hither accompanied by the son of Dr. Goto, with every appear ance of a perfect cure About the end of last year the health committee resolved to introduce, under the supervision of Dr. Goto, the Japanese treatment into the leper hospital, which is the charge of the Fran ciscan Sisters at Kakaako, near Honolulu. Already then I felt inclined to go to Honolu- lu to consult Dr. Goto about the disease, which had already made havoc with one of niy ears. At that time, however, Thy superi- OTIS did not consider the step advisable. Last July, however, had occasion to personally satisfy myself of the success which had at tended the treatment in question in the hos
 
 fully observe it's method, which consists in this: Every day the leper has to take two baths in hot water. in which certain quan- tity of Japanese medicine has been dissolved After every meal he has to take a small pill, and an hour later ounce of tea prepared from the bark of Japanese tree. This is the whole treatment. Both young Dr. Goto and the white patient of whom I made men tion above have assured me that in Japan many a leper has been completely cured by this treatment Whatever truth there may be in this statement, 1 must own that tke inn provement during these six months in the condition of many lepers whose illness was already in well developed state has been simply marvellous. I think myself therefore justified in seeing in this treatment a glim- mer of hope for our poor outcast 1epers of Molokai. King Kalakaua and his prime min ister honored me with a visit during my short stay at the hospital at Kakaako, near Honolulu. They told me it was their inten- tion to introduce the same system of treat ment in our great Ieper settlement. I look forward with satisfaction to the day when we shall receive a steam boiler which may heat about fifteen bath tubs at the same time
 "For few weeks I have undergone the treatment in question. Al the game time 1 commenced the sarne treatment with about forty to fifty of my orphan children. We have already derived some benefit from it. My work seems lighter and my strength is returning. Last Sunday for instance I said two masses and preached during each with out being obliged to sit down and without feeling particularly Hearied." "

The governor of Kansas, on deciding the municipal suffrage bill, filed with it an ex- planation stating that he did so as test of the value of woman suffrage. The one argu- ment that appealed to his judgment, he says, was that municipal suffrage was an experi- ment and that the law can be repealed by a bare majority of both houses of the legisla- ture if it does not work well.
